As a mayoral candidate for the city of Kenosha and more importantly , as a citizen concerned about the health and safety of the general populace of this great state, I ask your office to investigate whether a conflict of interest occurred involving the former District Attorney of Kenosha County, Robert Jambois and his review of the shooting death of Mr. Bobby Sherrod. This shooting occurred on March 29th of 2005 in the city of Kenosha. Mr. Sherrod, who was naked and on a city street with his children, was shot by a police officer.

After many hours of personal investigation, I am enclosing the timeline (supported by press documents and state records) just prior to the shooting death of Mr. Sherrod and the review period shortly there after.
If your office finds that a conflict of interest has occurred, please use every means at your disposal to assist in changing the review system. To ensure that aspersions are not cast upon law enforcement and the review process, I suggest the following:

Investigation of future incidents must be done by a law enforcement agency or agencies removed from the department in which the shooting occurred.

A family’s request for a public review must be honored.

Law enforcement and the family should have a voice in selecting a District Attorney removed from the department in which the shooting occurred to review evidence.

A blood sample of any officer involved must be drawn and reviewed for controlled or uncontrolled substances which may have effected his/her decision.

Formal complaints against law enforcement must also be available at locations other than those associated with police to diminish concerns of intimidation.

My intent is to protect not only the citizens of this great state, but also the lives and reputations of the fine officers of law enforcement who put themselves in harms way.
